SYNOPSIS

In sys/param.h In sys/kernel.h In sys/module.h In sys/conf.h Fn DEV_MODULE name modeventhand_t evh void *arg

DESCRIPTION

The Fn DEV_MODULE macro declares a device driver kernel module. It fills in a Vt moduledata_t structure and then calls Fn DECLARE_MODULE with the correct args, where Fa name is the name of the module and Fa evh (with its argument Fa arg ) is the event handler for the module (refer to DECLARE_MODULE9 for more information). The event handler is supposed to create the device with Fn make_dev on load and to destroy it when it is unloaded using Fn destroy_dev .

EXAMPLES

#include <sys/module.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
static struct cdevsw foo_devsw = { ... };
static struct cdev *sdev;
static int
foo_load(module_t mod, int cmd, void *arg)
{
    int err = 0;
    switch (cmd) {
    case MOD_LOAD:
        sdev = make_dev(&foo_devsw, 0, UID_ROOT, GID_WHEEL, 0600, "foo");
        break;          /* Success*/
    case MOD_UNLOAD:
    case MOD_SHUTDOWN:
        destroy_dev(sdev);
        break;          /* Success*/
    default:
        err = EINVAL;
        break;
    }
    return(err);
}
DEV_MODULE(foo, foo_load, NULL);
